20 Years
Since 2004
400 Titles

The catalogue comprises all 400 zines published by Nieves since 2004, highlighting two decades of creative expression from a diverse group of artists. Each zine offers a glimpse into the individual styles and ideas of its creators, presenting artwork that ranges from playful and experimental to personal and reflective. This collection underscores the inherent simplicity and directness of zines as a platform for artists to freely share their work and establish meaningful connections with readers. The catalogue is an opportunity to explore a unique archive of contemporary art that values expression and the printed page.

Nieves played a pioneering role in zine publishing with the introduction of the Zine Series in 2004, setting a new standard for how independent art could be shared and appreciated. The zine's focus on simplicity and the accessibility of small-format publications allows artists to present their work beyond traditional galleries and print. This approach made zines a vital platform for emerging and established artists alike, giving space for diverse voices to reach new audiences and creating a lasting impact on independent publishing.

A special fundraiser edition of the catalogue is available, featuring covers with original drawings by 10 contributing artists – Beni Bischof, Chris Johanson, Johanna Tagada Hoffbeck, Masanao Hirayama, Mehdi Hercberg, Misaki Kawai, Nathalie Du Pasquier, Sabian Baumann, Stefan Marx, Susan Cianciolo.
